79 pages
colour illustrations.
Super-readable format for young readers beginning their independent reading journey. Inspired by the childhood of artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun.
Summary: Elisabeth loves to paint, just like her papa. She spends hours making her own pictures of everything she sees - and the more colourful, the better! But when she goes away to school, she finds herself in a world of grey: grey buildings, grey uniforms, grey rooms. She misses Papa and all the colours of home. And one winter morning, she gets some terrible news that makes her days darker than ever before. Will Elisabeth be able to find the colour and joy in her life again?
